T. taliangensis new imports pics

Hi Paris,

What about Batryl therapy? What is the Baitryl dose? Do you use Baitryl orally? There are so many questions I´ll be pleased if you could answer me. Thanks you.

Xavier.
 
batryl-a 10% solution -kept in a pressurized vial because it will crystalize after a while on the shelf. i apply 1 drop per inch by syringe to their skin (not injected-just dropped out on skin) -the skin must have been recently moist or it will repel the drug. orally doesnt work in my expierence. id keep them out of water for at least 10 mins so the drug can be absorbed. i use this dosage for a 10 day period once a day, it works well also for those who arent eating due to stress.
 
Do you guys still think the orange spots on the arms holds out for sexing males? I'm still not sure. As my animals beef up spots are showing up where they weren't before. I also think I might have a female with the orange spots. I was positive I could sex them now I'm second guessing myself.
 
nah-it was just a guess, i saw the pattern and put the suggestion out there that it may be indicative -i have know way of telling for sure from 7 newts sampled.
 
hey paris are these being imported more often now? ive been to three petshops in my city and they all had T. tailengensis the most i saw at one were roughly 25. they all seems to be in good condition, i was always under the impressiont that these animals were rare/hardly ever imported, and less so in large numbers.
 
just the seasonal luck of the draw-some things get imported alot for about 1 or 2 years then fall off the map for up to 20, my worry is that they will never re appear, so i always advocate if youre going to get something like them you should have a colony enough for a breeding effort (a triplett is too small for me -cause if your 1 male dies you are SOL unless you can find another that another keeper has). what are they asking for them in shops? -how are they keeping them?
 
well the cheapest i saw them for at one shop was 10 bucks, the pricyest was 30 bucks. as for how they are being kept one has them on moistened paper towels with hides, the other two has them on bed-a-beast with hides. I was jsut really surprised that they had these, since ive always seen them on the web but never in person. they all seem to be in excellent health too, no sores or inflamation, and they look to be eating well (they are a little chubby)
 
Wow. That's a bargain. I paid 25.00 or 30.00 ea. for some and 40.00 ea. for my last two. I jumped on getting the Tylototritons. They are interesting animals and don't seem to be to difficult to care for. My taliangensis seem to be the slowest eaters of all. They look like they would be naturally flatter and skinnier than some of the other types. I'll probably put some of the T. taliangensis in their 50/50 set up over the holidays. I want to be sure they are in close to top condition because it is a little tougher to keep an eye on them with all the rocks and water.
 
First off - Great pics Paris, Keep us updated on these

My taliangensis have quite an appetite - as do the verrucosus. They do have a flat appearance but with a filled belly they look very healthy. Most of the pics I have seen is of totally flat animals - starved animals. Paris animals seem to be in great condition though.
They seem to be rather terrestrial, but with more preference for water than other tylototritons (well, dark form verrucosus might be an exception...). They still went into the water every now and then when kept at 11C.
Actually it seems as if mine uses the water as a toilet.... Reminds me of the iguana lizard a friend of mine own - it has to be showered to do a number 2 act(talk about a diva!).
 
Oh, that mad worry tha you might miss a rare species, thet might be never imported again,...
Sad for a collector. Go and buy ten, so your chance of having a surviving pair, is higher.
And the, grab them as often as possible, treat them like a candy or whatver.
Sad what happens here.
Greets,
Philipp

It's an enigma. The people that would like to see these animals conserved in the wild also wish to have them in their collections. I see from your profile you have several types of Tylototriton in your collection. I'd guess somehow they come from wild caught animals. In a perfect world we wouldn't keep any of these animals in captivity. We could visit them in the wild. We might be surprised to find their habitat polluted or bulldozed.
